as in scored? No that was Livia.

Jess has never been scored, but he did check her hips last time we went (manipulation) thing is she doesnt acknowledge pain so it difficult to tell with her

[Val]

I know Liv being scored but I did remember the vet telling you Jess’s hips were OK

yes, through manipulation, but she doesnt show pain, the xrays show something different, wont know till thurs.

right leg, thigh bone is more curved than the left, right hip is perfect in terms of HD, left is pretty bad.

spine showed nothing untowards, a bit arthitus but no spondelitus  ???

[Val]

Sounds like she has had the problem for a long time (Maybe from a puppy)she’s been taking the weight off her dodgy hip and has been loading her other hip
Now if she was a clipped breed and had been to a decent groomer they would have spotted that a long time ago
poor girlie always in the wars

Thing is though Val, she never been clipped, last groom she had was over a year ago and was done using a coat king and handstripping, because he coat is so long (and used to be fab)

I know Izzie they are not a dog that needs a groomer, but I am afraid to say good groomers spot these problems way before a lot of vets was my point
